Why the magazine is not available for kindle for the web? I don’t plan to buy a kindle nor an iPad.
Are past numbs available?
what are watches becoming so expensive?
Like the new Omega. Such a pity they’ve gone down the Rolex road ie making watches for the rich only. What a profit margin they must have, nice work if you can get it. Thank goodness for Oris, Seiko, Longines etc or else us ‘plebs’ would have to wear $10 store watches. Great magazine though even if a bit over-focused on bling for the upper classes, Bill.
To be sure, you state the sub incorporates iPad and Iphone compatibility, what about Android? Please.
Hi Greg,
Not to worry, we’re working on an Android app which will be available soon and will be integrated with the subscription.
We’ll be sure to let our readers know when it is available.
Having trouble downloading my latest magazine for my yearly subscription.
